President Roosevelt on Tuesday indicated his in-
tention to 8i#n the Oklahoma constitution, wishing it
distinctly understood, however, that this approval
must not be taken as an endorsement of the profes-
sions therein.
The proclamation will be signed on the 16th of
November.
President Roosevelt regards the constitution with-
in the provisions of the Enabling Act and feels that
while it is duty, to sign it, he cannot enthuse to any
great extent over the act.
The constitution as presented to, the president is
typewritten on parchment and does not contain the
election ordinances.
While not enthusiastic over its terms, President
Roosevelt regards it as within the terms of the enab-
ling act and holds that he has no further discretion and
will sign the constitution. Those accompanying Gov-
ernor Frantz included, Judge W. II H. Clayton, State
Delegate P. Cunningham, S<la* Reed, candidate for at-
torney general of the new state and C. E. Hunter,
chairman of the republican state central committee.
The function of presenting a certified copy of the
constitution was carried out in conformity with terras
of the enabling act, which provides that the copy shall
be presented by the governor of the territory of Okla-
homa and the federal judge, senior in service, in the
Indian Territory. Governor Frantz of Oklahoma and
Judge Clayton of Indian Territory constituted the
official committee of presentation. The constitution
was enclosed in a red leather case. This was unclasped
and Governor Frantz stated as he laid it before the
president that he formaly presented a certified copy of
the constitution of Oklahoma, together with a state-
ment of the election returns.
In response the president indicated his intention to
sign, but added that this approval was not to be taken
as an endorsement of all its provisions.
Chilt Clark, wife and baby
were up from Hobart a couple of

vented cotton picking, hence

ed the position of district court

BANKS CLOSED
Mouths Open in Astonish
mont and Speculation
Rife
Monday afternoon at 3:10 the
three banks in Cordell shut
up shop and qu't doing business
for that dai and for five other
days. "What's *be mattery''
could be heard on every side and
the. cause was placed at a number
of places and various reasons
given for the closing. S une
labored under the impression
that they had been ordered clos
ed, but the person acquainted
with affairs knew that such
not the case.
The reason for the topping of
business was because the banks
could get no money with which
to do business, as their corre
hpondents in Kansas City, St.
Liuisand Chicago refused to
ship out any currency upon any
demand, hence the smaller banks
that were depending upon these
money centers for cu rrency were
compelled to assume the same
attitude towards their custom-
ers.
Every farmer who brings in a
bale of cotton, wants his money,

Postoffice Moved,
Last Saturday night P>stmas-
ter Curtis with a large force of
hel|)ers moved the postoffice
from Market street to the Wash-
ita corner, and it now occupies
a location in the rear end of the
corner room, Some indignation
is felt by some of our people, but
had they been in the postmas-
ter's place they would have done
j'jst as he did.
The old location, while more
centrally located, then the new
one, all parties will soon get used
to the change and become oon-
content therewith. One thi&g is
certain; when the contemplated
changes are made, the new L <ne
